Give reason Electrophilic substitution in case of aromatic amines takes place more readily than in benzene.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electrons on the N atoritin aniline are delocalised into the benzene ring, due to resonance. Hence the . electron density in the benzene ring of aniline increases, when compared to benzene. Thus aniline, gets activated and hence electrophilic substitution occurs more readily in aniline.
